Ingredients

• 3 pieces Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Banana extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Plain yogurt or sour cream
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set the bowl aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then, stir in the vanilla extract and banana extract.

Step 5

Gradually mix the mashed bananas into the wet ingredients until well combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 7

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 8

Stir in the yogurt or sour cream to add moisture to the batter.

Step 9

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.

Step 10

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 12

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
